About Subway Now: Live NYC Train Map
Subway Now (formerly The Weekendest) is the ultimate companion app to ride the NYC Subway. Simply open it to see all nearby arrival times in zero taps, and go!
Subway Now is the first and only realtime New York City Subway map app:
- Track live train locations
- Check nearby arrival times across stations
- View current subway service pattern on a map, not just what is "scheduled" for a typical weekday
- Track your train's estimated arrival time and connection times right on your Lock Screen*
- Check transfer times before you arrive at your transfer station
- Get more accurate train arrival times that have been additionally processed
From the Press:
"With one tap, [Subway Now] identifies your location and current travel options... look ahead to transfers. Service Changes are in view as part of the complete picture of possible rides." - PIX11 News
"Several voices on Twitter pointed out that a digital MTA map, arguably superior, already exists. At a transportation conference in Brooklyn last year Sunny Ng unveiled an open-source creation he calls The Weekendest — a riff on the name of the MTA’s previous service-change map, called The Weekender." - Bloomberg CityLab
"To go beyond the MTA service alerts, you need to look at headways, which is the time between trains on a line. I can use [Subway Now] to easily see where the trains are bunching or slowing due to issues and plan accordingly." - VICE Motherboard
From our users:
"Your app has seriously improved my knowledge of the subway system by getting me to do more of my own routing. It’s like using a multiplication table instead of a calculator."
"Because of this app, I had the information needed to hustle to my train or make a connecting transfer, before a gap in service."
"MTA has planned weekend and night service and this helped me find an easy way home."
"Being able to see exactly where your train is minute by minute is unbeatable."
"Nothing else comes close to reliable realtime information for the subway, not even the station display boards."
Additional Features:
- Our own data-driven service alerts, delay detection, integrated with MTA official alerts
- Save favorite subway stations for easy access
- Customizable Trip Arrival alerts, be notified when your train is about to arrive*
- Light mode/dark mode support
- Station accessibility notices, and accessibility station filter
- Optimized for intermittent offline viewing (you know how it is underground)
- iOS 26 support
- No ads!
* Background Trip Tracker and Trip Arrival Alerts require paid subscription add-on
